What is MassiveBooks?
MassiveBooks provides book related features such as better displaynames, copying books, unlocking locked books for more editing, powertools, unique serverbooks, and ingame libraries using item frames.
Install
- Stop your server.
- Put MassiveCore.jar in your plugins folder. Download MassiveCore here on BukkitDev.
- Put MassiveBooks.jar in your plugins folder.
- Start your server again.
- Modify /mstore/massivebooks_mconf/instance.json to your liking.
- Configure permissions. You may want to use the "kit" parent permissions.
Commands
The commands operate on the book you are holding in your hand at the moment.
For regular players:
- /book unlock
Unlock a book that has been locked/signed. This will allow you to edit the content again. - /book lock
Lock a book and keep the previous title and author. This command is usually used on "unlocked" books to avoid having to retype the book title. - /book clear
Clearing a book will turn it into a normal book and quill. The title, author and content will be completely removed. - /book title <title>
Set a new title for the book. You can use color codes in the title if you want to. - /book copy [times=1]
Creates copies of the book. You must however have the resources unless you are in creative-mode. - /book list [page=1]
Lists all serverbooks. These books can be loaded by using the load command. - /book load <title>
Load a serverbook. If the book in your hand has content it will be overwritten. - /book cr,copyrighted [true/false=toggle]
Toggle the copyrighted state for the book. Books that are copyrighted can only be copied by the author and not by others. The copyrighted state will only be modified for the book in your hand. Already existing copies of the book will not be affected (unless it's a serverbook). - /book v,version
Show plugin version and information.
For moderators:
- /book author <author>
Set a new author for the book. - /book give <player> <amount|ensure> [title|all=*bookandquill*]
This command is used to give serverbooks to players without resource costs. An integer amount can be specified. If you write "ensure" or simply "e" instead of an integer amount the player will only be given the book if they don't have it. If you write "all" instead of a book title the command will hand out all saved serverbooks. If you don't specify any title an empty bookandquill will be used. - /book save
Save the book as a serverbook. The title of the book works as the id. - /book delete <title>
Delete the server book with the title specified. - /book autoupdate [true/false=toggle]
Toggle your personal autoupdate setting. Autoupdate is good and should be set to true. However you must disable it when modifying server books. Otherwise your changes will be autooverwritten before you get the time to save them. - /book pt,powertool [true/false=toggle]
Toggle the powertool state for the book. Powertools are books where the content is commands to run and messages to say. Hit and interact with the book to execute it as a powertool.

Posted Jul 5, 2013Just wondering .. can you make it so that if you click on an item frame book with a book and quill that already has text in it the plugin will say something like .. are you sure you want to overwrite this book with the new book? if so click the frame again in the next 5 seconds .. and after clicking again it will overwrite the book.

Yeah the vault dependency turned required instead of optional due to a coding mistake i made. In the next version I upload it will be optional.

Posted Mar 25, 2013The new version "MassiveBooks 1.1.0 MCore 6.2.0" is now pending approval. This version is updated to be compatible with Minecraft 1.5.1. Remember you must use MCore version 6.2.0.
@ursak
You are correct. You need 1.5+. 1.4.7 will not work.
@0dayRUDE
Sorry but the powertool feature is unrelated to the unlock feature. Also the commands run are player commands and not server commands. The player using the powertool must have the right to alter permission groups. As long as you have that situation covered you could use the tag {you.id} in the powertool. Read more here: http://massivecraft.com/plugins/massivebooks#powertools

Posted Mar 24, 2013So I guess this is only for 1.5+. No use even trying this on an 1.4.7 server? :(
I love the idea here. Wish I could use it, but since I run a MCPC+ server ;S

Posted Mar 20, 2013Could we possibly have a book that when unlocked or opened moves the users to a new permission group ?
